Program Associate, Matthew Erle, met with representatives of a collective that are working to advance rights of migrants and their families in the state of Tlaxcala, a state about 75 miles from Mexico City that has been seeing high levels of both labor migration and human trafficking in recent years.

The mission of the Global Workers Justice Alliance is to combat worker exploitation by promoting portable justice for transnational migrants through a cross-border network of worker advocates and resources.

Global Workers coined the term portable justice to describe the right and ability of transnational migrant workers to access justice in the countries of employment even after they have departed for their home countries.
